About This Property
Longevity and legacy make this vintage two-bedroom gem a landmark to cherish in the heart of Paekākāriki.On the open market for the first time since it was built nearly 70 years ago, it's been a picturesque sanctuary for two generations of the same Paekākāriki identities. At the age of 96, the daughter of the original owners has only just moved into a retirement home - which tells you everything you need to know about the enduring appeal and easy liveability of this enchanting haven.
Located just a block back from the beach, the widely admired cottage is on a 904sqm* section with picket fencing (complete with antique gate and latch), double-gated off-street parking and a garden that may have lost its bloom but not its appeal.
There's both walk-on and drive-on access to an agapanthus-flanked path that leads to the front door of the pioneer house-style cottage with its brick chimney, pitched roof and colonial sash windows.
Original floorboards add to the old-world ambience, from the untouched authenticity of the kitchen to the living/dining room with a corner cupboard and a brick fireplace recently upgraded with gas heating. That's not the only modern convenience. There's also the bonus of a Rinnai Infinity hot water system, fuelled by gas bottles, while each of the double bedrooms has built-in storage.
Despite the compact floor area, there's room for a separate laundry and a large garden shed where you can keep everything you'll need to explore the stunning stretch of coastline on your doorstep.
Rich in rustic charm and romance, you could make this your ultimate weekender or boutique beachside escape.
Campbell Park is nearby, while just a short stroll away are the recreational delights of Queen Elizabeth Park and the bohemian colour and bonhomie vibrancy of Paekākāriki Village with its cafes, inn, train station and community hall.
This truly is a remarkable, unrepeatable chance to go beyond the gate of this iconic home and take it beyond your dreams.
Rateable Value $770,000.
